[/ QUOTE ] I was trying to figure out a way to write it without it sounding too perverted. Oh well... I do have my 35 year old Craftsman ring compressor if you really need to borrow one. It has worked on many a small block Chevy, half a dozen 426 Hemis and I even taught my daughter how to use it when we were putting together the 455-HO. She's gonna make some car guy a happy man some day. He better be rich, though. ![]() |

I am actually going to buy a good one tomorrow. Ring compressor that is... ![]() The girlfriend has no idea what a crankshaft or ring compressor is... I was telling her about what we were doing and she listened very intently then I said "do you even know what I am talking about" to which she replied... "I have no idea" unfortunately I know this too will change... it will be... you are messing with a car again... at least she knows what I am laying under ![]()

Steve,
Told the girlfriend the story about the ring compressor and she laughed so hard, also told her that I knew eventually the feigned interest in automobiles would wane... she gave me a real serious look as she nodded her head in agreement. James
